INDIA TOURS
Bear witness to classic Indian culture in Khajuraho
India tours provide travelers with the opportunity to explore one of the most enduring and storied cultures in the world. The expansive subcontinent is home to some of the most ornate and interesting historical structures still in existence, and vacationers touring the country's numerous attractions will find plenty to see in the stunning temple complex of Khajuraho.
Located in the Chhatarpur district of Madhya Pradesh, Khajuraho is a UNESCO World Heritage Site that is home to the country's largest collection of medieval Hindu and Jain temples. These well-preserved structures have long been celebrated for the intricate carvings that line the walls and edifices of these houses of worship.
Much of the artwork is erotic in nature, representing some of the illustrations of the famed Kama Sutra and reflecting the philosophies of the Chandela dynasty, which ruled the area between 950 and 1050 AD.
The grouping of temples also benefits from its proximity to the nearby Vindhya mountain range, a scenic stretch of mountains that provides a stunning backdrop to this cluster of ancient structures.
